Quotes by Learning Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away. Richard Bach learningsometimesinspirational We're different, we're the same. You thought you'd never find a word to say to a woman who didn't fly airplanes. I couldn't imagine myself spending time with a man who didn't love music. Could it be it's not as important to be alike as it is to be curious? Because we're different, we can have the fun of exchanging worlds, giving our loves and excitements to each other. You can learn music, I can learn flying. And that's only the beginning. I think it would go on for us as long as we live. Richard Bach learningfunlove I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. Richard Dawkins learningatheistdeath Programming languages, like pizzas, come in only too sizes; too big and too small. Richard E.

Pattis learningimportantreal The structure of a software system provides the ecology in which code is born, matures, and dies. A well-designed habitat allows for the successful evolution of all the components needed in a software system. Richard E. Pattis habitatlearningsuccessful When building a complex system, having crackerjack programmers (who can make any design work, even a bad one) can be a liability. The result, after lots of effort, is a working system that cannot be easily maintained or upgraded. Good -but not great- programmers would fail early, causing a realization that the system must be redesigned, and then reimplemented. The extra cost is paid once, early in the system's cycle (when it is cheap), instead of repeatedly paid late in the system's cycle (when it is more expensive). Richard E. Pattis design-workeffortlearning A class, in Java, is where we teach objects how to behave. Richard E. Pattis javalearningclass The discipline of programming is most like sorcery. Both use precise language to instruct inanimate objects to do our bidding. Small mistakes in programs or spells can lead to completely unforseen behavior: e.g., see the story, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". Neither study is easy: "...her [Galinda's] early appetite for sorcery had waned once she'd heard what a grind it was to learn spells and, worse, to understand them." from the book "Wicked" by G. Maguire. Richard E. Pattis learningmistakebook Nature is not cruel, only pitilessly indifferent. This is one of the hardest lessons for humans to learn.

Richard Hamming learningusescience When you face adversity . . . don't' ask: Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this, now? What have I done to cause this? Rather ask: What am I to do? What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial? Richard G. Scott adversitylearningblessing It may be said "In research, if you know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it."

Scott learningimportantwriting May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.
